Books & Boards — OBSESSION & A MOST AGREEABLE MURDER

  • Village Meeple Board Game Cafe 1570 East Battlefield Road Suite F Springfield, MO, 65804 United States (map)

In partnership with The Library Center, join us for our monthly book club! Each month we will select a board game and a book with similar theme to discuss and play.

For May, we will play Obsession. Obsession is a game of 16 to 20 turns in which players build a deck of Victorian gentry (British social upper class), renovate their estate by acquiring building tiles from a centralized builders' market, and manipulate an extensive service staff of butlers, housekeepers, underbutlers, maids, valets, and footmen utilizing a novel worker placement mechanic. Successfully hosting prestigious social activities such as Fox Hunts, Music Recitals, Billiards, Political Debates, and Grand Balls increases a player's wealth, reputation, and connections among the elite.

We will be reading A Most Agreeable Murder by Julia Seales. When a wealthy bachelor drops dead at a ball, a young lady takes on the decidedly improper role of detective in this action-packed debut comedy of manners and murder.

Admission for the book club is free!
